Safety First: Colorado Springs' Winter Driving Tips

In Colorado Springs, winter is serious business. With icy roads being common, the local police have switched to "accident alert" mode. This means if you're unlucky enough to be in a minor fender bender with no major injuries or damages, you can just exchange information with the other driver and file a report within 72 hours.

For drivers, the police have some simple advice: slow down, keep a safe distance from other cars, and choose your routes wisely. Before you even start driving, make sure your car windows are clear of snow and ice. If your tires aren't designed for snow, it's better to wait for better road conditions. Filing a report is easy. You can do it online or visit a police substation. The main goal is to keep everyone safe on the roads. So, let's all do our part and drive carefully this winter!
